| Laveau's Burial Site |
Laveau, who was born on September 10, 1794 in New Orleans, is one of the city's most iconic historical figures. Her mythical status has reached heights like no other, as her tomb in Saint Louis Cemetery #1 is one of the most visited burial sites in the United States. In fact it attracts so many visitors that it ranks second to only the grave site of Elvis Presley.
To honor Marie Laveau's birthday Liz Genest Smith of gonola.com wrote this great article titled Happy Birthday, Marie Laveau: Nine Legends You Didn't Know. As you will read in the article there was more to the New Orleans Voodoo Queen than her association with black magic. Enjoy.
